Two years ago Latrobe carried
Baltimore by about 10000. Last
year the Democrats had two candi-
dates in the field for Mayor and
the ring candidates carried it by
about $500. In this tall's election,
in straight out fight with the Re
publicans, and Latrobe in the field
again, they carry the city by $500.
The Democratic editors call this a
victory. 1t may be so but we
would like to know where the H.
500 votes that Latrobe got two years
ago have gone to.

What IS This DISEASE that Il COMING
UPON VSf

UPON VSf
Like thief at night 1t steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy
the mouth has bad taste. especially in
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col
lects about the teeth The appetite is
poor. There is feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach sometimes a faint,
all gone sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After while
cough sets in, at first dry, but after a
few months it is attended with green
ish-colored expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After time
he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There is gid
diness, sort of whrling sensation in the
head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costlve: the skin is dry
and hot at times the blood becomes
thick and stagnant the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yellow the
urine is scanty and high colored, depos-
iting a sediment after standing. There
is frequently splitting up of the food,
sometimes with sour taste and some
times with a sweetish taste this is fire.
quently attended with palpitation of the
heart the vision becomes impaired, with
spots before the eyes /; there is feeling
of great prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are III turn present.
1t is thought that nearly one third of our
population has this disease in some of its
varied forms.
1t has been found that physicians have
mistaken the cause of this disease. Some
have treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but
none of these kinds of treatment have
been attended with success for it is real
ly constipation and dyspepsia. 1t is also
found that Shaker Extract of Roots, or
Mother Seigels' Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove this dis
ease in all its stages. Care should be
taken, however, to secure the genuine
article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON.
Mr.. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chula-
firmee, Cleburn Co., Ala, writes my
wife has been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigels'
Syrup that she says she would rather be
without part of her food than without
the medicine. 1t has done her more good
than the doctors and all other medicines
put together. I would ride twenty miles
to get it into the hands of any sufferer if
he can get it in no other way. I believe
it will soon sell in this State better than
cotton.

TIE BORDER ROAD.

a dispatch from Attica, dated the
9th inst, says: Reliable reports fix
the building of the Spivey branch to
Attica within ninety days. The engi-
neers have been instructed to make q

bids for grading from Bluff City to At

ened and contracts for grading let In a
few days. The prospects are that in
three months from date Attica will
have direct railroad connection with the
best city in kansas-Wlchita."
And unless we are greatly mistaken,
the Border road will be extended to
Medicine Lodge from Attica. The orig
inal intention of that company was to
go by way of KiOwa and then west
along the border TO COmanche cOun-
ty, where aid has been voted to it. But
now that the Fort Scott road is headed
for Kiowa, while the Southern Kansas
is already there, it would be no sense in
the Border road paralleling both of those
roads to KiOwa. Another obstacle is
the very rough country west of Kiowa,
where it would require an expenditure
of $50 600 per mile to get through.
The Border road has already been
notified of the outlet from this city.

will follow the voting of the Kansas
and Panhandle bonds throughout Bar
Der county. Kingman county IS to-day
enjoying the greatest prosperity in its
history, by reason of voting aid to this

county, every man in the county will
profit from the increased activity in
every business, trade or calling. The

more houses; day lablrers will be Of

the farmer will find better market for

of lower freight rates. EVERYBODY will

CAN THEY DO ITP

Clark County Clipper: I'VE acknowl-
edge receipt of II printed copy of law
brief of test case appealed by EXline
and Meching, from the Lamar land Of
flee TO the commissioner of the general
land office. The case is that of Todd
Knepple, who after proving up pre-
emptiOn on this Usage land, went to
Colorado and offered TO file on another
presumption, but his filing was rejected
by the register and receiver at Lamar
1t Is universally acknowledged that a
second filing can he made, and the at
torneys in this case, sustained by our
best lawyers, hold that the claimant
has right also to pre-empt government
land after pre-empting here on this Os-
age Trust land; that this Usage Trust
land is not government land; that this
entry was not made under the pre-emp-
tiOn land law, but under special act of
May -, 1880; that every citizen of the
United States has right to pre-empt
100 acres of government land, and that
entering this Usage Trust land does not
exhaust that right. The decision will
be watched with great interest. y
large number of the people that are 60
ing from here to southeast Colorado,
are filing on second prescriptions as
they feel confident the point will be sus-
tanned by the secretary of the interior
If not by the commissioner. There may
be technicalities in the law that will al
low the entering of u second pre-emp-
ton, but certainly ii was not the inten-
ton OF the law makers, and we have
some doubts about them being success
full.

THE PENSION VETO.

1t required nerve of the strongest
kind for the president to veto the de-
pendent pension bill after it had been
passed by more than twO-thirds major
itY IN each house; but Mr.. Cleveland
was equal to the emergency and said
no, with big ". And he was right.
The bill as passed, was most sweeping
IN its provisions, practically giving u
pension 10 every soldier who had ever
served III the military or naval service
of the government. The annual cost
of carrying such pension roll, in adj
ditiOn to the millions now extended
annually, would not have been less
That would have solved the question
of revenue surplus, and congress need
not have been further perplexed. The
bill as passed provided: That all per-
sons who served three months or more
/ in the military or naval services of the
! United States in any war in which the
/ United States has been engaged, and
who have been hOnOrably discharged
| therefrom, and who are now or may
hereafter be suffering from mental or
| physical disability, not the result of
their own vicious habits or careless
ness, which incapacitates them for the
| performance of labor in such degree
rs TO render them unable to earn sup
port, and who are dependent upon
their daily labor for support, shall,
upon making due proof of the fact ac-
cording to such rules and regulations
as the secretary of the interior may
! provide; in pursuance of this act, be
placed OH the list of invalid pensioners
of the United Stated and be entitled to
receive. for such total inability to pro-
! cure their subsistence by daily labor,

The time had come when a halt had
to be called, and the president was not
afraid to give the command.

There is serious apprehension that
there will he appalling loss of human
lives in Montana. Snow began falling
the middle of November, and there is
now more of it on the ground than for
ten years. Most of the stage roads are
entirely closed up, and trains are run
ming at irregular intervals, some being
four or five days apart, and the supply
of fuel is almost exhausted. Three
DAYS ago coal was selling at $50 ton at
Fit. Benton, and now 1t can hardly be
had at any price. Snow has drifted to
enormous depths, and people living at
Mountain Pass are in imminent danger
of meeting horrible fate beneath an
avalanche or freezing to death. Should
another protracted storm occur, it is be-
lieved hundreds would succumb to it's
terrors. AS it is, more people have
been frozen to death this winter than
for quarter of n century.

authorizing the issuance OF any bonds
FOR school purposes, the right of any
citizen TO vote shall not be denied or

city election in Medicine Lodge, fe-
males. over the age OF 81 years may, if
they desire, vote for city officers. We
have an idea that very few will avail
